Yup: best/only way to handle Trump is to manipulate the sh#t out of him. Turn him against his advisors (Bannon is indeed the perfect place to start), Congress, etc. by naming them the Real Power players, and then watch how he flails, fires and fails.

The utter destruction of this evil twit and his immoral business empire will just be the icing on the cake.

Bannon/Trump is starting to make Cheney/Shrubya look like upright and competent patriots.
When Cheney ran the show, the motive was just greed, not Bannon's pure fascism.

The Crawford Caligula is no longer the worst president in American history.
Who would have believed that?

with Trump sitting at the kiddie desk and Bannon at the president's desk would get to him.

He calls the shots like my kids did when they were younger.

Hey kids, what veggie do you want with dinner?

We have Okra, beets or broccoli? They would always choose broccoli, as it was their least objectionable choice. Broccoli happens to be one of my favorite vegetables.

President Bannon gives trump the same style of choices.

I don't participate in social media so I applaud those of you who do and post this kind of push-back!

...and coverage of Bannon's influence-grab hits Kremlin Don right in his wildly-inflated self-image.
